Back in the 1960's and 70's when I was repairing TV's and Radios, we relied on Sams Photofacts for schematics and parts information. Shops with deeper pockets could afford a subscription and had access to "most" needed schematics, but not all, since not every model radio or tv was covered. This was before the internet, so sharing repair information was non-existent. My local parts distributor was a sales agent for Sams, so I would call them if I needed parts info. They opened many sealed Sams folders to help me with needed info. Your videos bring back memories of my earlier days. Thanks David
I wouldn't or couldn't be doing this if it were not for the internet, it's a valuable resource for learning and schematics. It sounds a bit like when I was working on cars, I could go to the parts store and read the service manual 😀 Thanks Glenn.
A 91 year old radio and it's still working. What amazes me ie the alignment is still spot on after a quick alignment. Great work in the tracing the fault. That sleeve for the volume pot is just plain insperation , well done Dave. Looking forward to the next adventure.
That was very nice, Dave. Enjoy your vacation and come back soon for us lurkers (and don't sneakily remove the tubes from the communication equipment in the radioroom of the ship!)
Asking for help in the restoration forums when you really need a schematic. Someone invariably will find one for you. It is a resource of many fellow restorers that are always willing to help a bloke out. I'm sure many of them are fans of yours by now David. The repair and alignment was smooth sailing after that. Enjoy you time off from your normal hustle and bustle. Cheers,Steve from Illinios.
Hi Steve, I was surprised someone had the schematic, I thought it would be too obscure. The radio community will always help out a chap. Thanks Steve, I will enjoy my time off 🙂
This video was a good reminder to check the basics before running down rabbit holes. 😆 Another interesting repair. Hope the house stuff goes well and enjoy your break.
That is quite an interesting circuit. Kudos for you showing this and kudos to Edwin H. Armstrong for inventing superhet. He was one smart fellow. Too bad Sarnoff had a war with him.
Last night I watched the movie "Superman" on television. But after watching this repair I think you are the real Superman.😉 Thank you so much for you videos.
@@DavidTipton101 You guys are most welcome! We are at the shop most Friday/Saturday/Sundays unless at a Table Tennis tournament. And home the rest of the week unless at the farm! 😊
Crikey mate, that was more fun then finding a pair of Capybar's in your hot tub! Great video with the trouble shooting. I recognize that tube line up Atwater Kent used a lot of 57 and 58 tubes.
Another resurrection, well done. That's the issue with these vintage radios, you leave them in storage and the roaches move in, bringing their slug friends along who can't resist twiddling.
Hey Dave, loved watching your brain gears work on this one, nothing was obvious to me especially the volume control controlled from the antenna. This was a 1st for me. Great job on the shaft, your background work experience shines through here. Thank's for sharing mate 🙂
Hello Raymond. There was a bit of gear cherning going on, working out the volume control in the circuit was one of them. Thank you for watching Raymond 👍🙂
David the old AWA 1933 led you on Merry Chase in preformed well for 91 radio you luckily a Club Member found the Schematic it did help in the end,Enjoy your holiday Regard Ian.
Hi Dave. You sure do how to find the odd ones. Have a nice break. See you on the flip side. Hi to Karen and the in or outlaw LOL. Take care see you soon.
That was a great trouble shooting video David. You always seem to have a pretty methodical approach to trouble shooting and it paid off again. Thank you for another informative video LL
Hi David. 2nd time watching this. Always enjoy the detective work you do and the restoration of these wonderful radios! Hope you enjoy your time off and time with extended family. -Chris
hi David i never expect anything more than perfect from you and you never let me down , just picked up two radio's a murphy and a old bakerlite phillips . never looked at your site yesterday was keepng something to look forward today lol
Looks like the Volume pot was the main fault in this one. That kind of makes sense. Worked ten years ago, then stopped as the wires on the wirewound pot failed. Great video, and it is a reminder to all of us that sometimes you need to start with the basics and not make any assumptions. A really fantastic result. I hope all goes well with the sale and that you have an amazing vacation. Looking forward to more when you return.
I was trying to correlate the failed pot to the failed resistor, I think there were two failures, I don't think the open pot would cause the resistor to fail but a good look around and some basic troubleshooting would have solved this a bit quicker. Thanks Brendan😀
Thanks, Dave, for sharing your approach to solving this problem. I guess we shouldn't forget about the basics, but check them like you said. Good luck with your upcoming other adventures and have fun!
Always appreciate your matter-of-fact approach to fabricating parts when needed, like the sleeve for the shaft of the volume pot. It may be SOP for techs nowadays, but it's a million miles from anything I'd contemplate doing when fixing radar sets a lifetime ago in the USAF. Hope you have recovered your health completely.
Enjoy your cruise, does your mother in-law know your selling her house ?....... Thanks David for your great videos and humour. You and 'Shango' and a beer make for a pleasant respite from 21st century madness.
Hi WOFFY, Thanks, the cruise will be good fun. Good point, I will let mother-in-law know about the house sale before the new owners move in 👍😐 Yeah... that's good thinking.
Another excellent video, what a beautiful set, looks fantastic. Enjoy your break, cruise and other duties lined up. You'll be missed. Best wishes David
Hi Dave. Once again an excellent job. Great result. Regarding Mike at the code machine, I to have just requested data for the Pilot little maestro 1939 and although my payment was taken I have not had the data. I have sent him an email and have not received any reply to that. Also have tried to phone him and it just goes straight to answer. This is most unusual. I hope he is ok. All my best wishes from Allan in the UK.
Hi Dave, an interesting bit of fault finding on an interesting radio. I think the aerial coils & circuit were the logical place to start but when all else fails, go back to basics. Always something to learn from your videos. Your mother-in-law's house looks nice. I should put the shed on the market and put in an offer! Hope you have a great trip. I don't know what I'm going to watch while you're away. Might have to resort to Shango!
Hi Don, I struggle with older radios like this and the Astor I did recently. I was stuffed without the circuit drawing. Oh, that wasn't Mother-in-law's house, that was the servants quarters 😉 Thanks Don I'm looking forward to the trip. You could do worse than Shango 👍🙂
Brilliant work as usual Dave !!! Radiola was a popular US brand, so this looks like its cousin. I've checked Gernsback, Beitman and Riders and cannot find this.. Radio Museum had it which is the copy you got... Excellent work mate.
Hi Ron, as Stuart says it not related to the US brand. The circuit has since been uploaded to Radio Museum plus some other information that was not there earlier in the week. It looks like my activity has prompted someone. Thanks Ron 🙂
Thanks Dave, have a great vacation!
Thanks Steve 🙂

Yes I had Subscription to Sams I still have a lot of them !
Hey David, very interesting video,...Lots more learned, always a treat to watch and learn..Stay safe..Ed..UK..😊
Thanks Ed, stay safe yourself 👍🙂
Another very enjoyable video. A multimeter is so often your friend.
Absolutely, if you only had one test gear it would be a MM. Thanks Ian 🙂
Well another good repair job - as I say always enjoyable. Enjoy your cruise. I'll miss you... all the best.
Hi Kenneth, thank you, I'll be back soon 🙂
A 91 year old radio and it's still working. What amazes me ie the alignment is still spot on after a quick alignment. Great work in the tracing the fault. That sleeve for the volume pot is just plain insperation , well done Dave. Looking forward to the next adventure.
Thanks Stephen, I hope I'm working as well when I'm 91 👍😄
Learning from your mucking around is the most valuable gift you give! Enjoy your time off and best of luck with the home sale!
Thanks Bob 🙂
Entertaining, and fascinating repair job! Enjoy your cruise!
Thanks Michael 🙂
Cheers Dave, great Work once again, enjoy your vacation.
Thanks Dom 👍🙂
Enjoy your time David Family and Vacation after. Have Fun
Thanks Pat, I will 🙂
Hi Dave, we will miss you, but have a great holiday , you deserve it. Many thanks from Nr Liverpool UK..
Thanks Chris, I'm looking forward to it 🙂
That was very nice, Dave. Enjoy your vacation and come back soon for us lurkers (and don't sneakily remove the tubes from the communication equipment in the radioroom of the ship!)
Thank you alpcns. I couldn't access the radio equipment, apparently they had been tipped off I was aboard 🤨

See you soon Chris. Thank you 👍🙂
Cruise ? Pack you gear David, it's bound to be a radio adventure. Have a very nice trip.
I'm packed and on countdown, thanks Erik 😀
That is quite an interesting circuit. Kudos for you showing this and kudos to Edwin H. Armstrong for inventing superhet. He was one smart fellow. Too bad Sarnoff had a war with him.
They are different and hard to follow the thinking. Sarnoff was a tough businessman for sure. Thanks @tseckwr3783 🙂
Well done Dave, nice to see an older set! Have a great cruise!
Thanks owwcam 👍🙂
The sleeve fix on the pot was nice:)
Thanks AAAX 🙂
This one was short. Nicely done. Enjoy your cruise.

Thank you Chris 🙂
Crikey mate, that was more fun then finding a pair of Capybar's in your hot tub! Great video with the trouble shooting. I recognize that tube line up Atwater Kent used a lot of 57 and 58 tubes.
Pretty popular tubes at the time I think Mike. Thankfully we don't have Capybaras in Oz 😄
Thank you for the video. Hope I have my french mystery ready when you're back.
Enjoy the radio time off
Thank you Maarten, I will 🙂
Another fantastic outcome Dave! Love your videos as always! Enjoy your cruise matey!
